Rabies virus, artwork C013 / 4703
Rabies virus. Computer artwork of a rabies (family Rhabdoviridae) virus particle (virion). The virus has a protein coat or capsid, which is made up of helically arranged subunits called capsomeres. Within the coat is the genetic material, which in this virus is single-stranded RNA (ribonucleic acid). Surrounding the protein coat is a lipoprotein envelope studded with surface proteins (pink). The rabies virus is transmitted to man from infected animal bites. Symptoms appear after an incubation period of 10 days to a year and include fever, breathing difficulties, muscle spasms, and hydrophobia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the rabies virus, a member of the Rhabdoviridae family. Created through computer artwork, it vividly depicts the various components that make up this pathogenic microorganism. The virus is enveloped by a lipoprotein coat adorned with surface proteins in a striking pink hue. Beneath this protective layer lies the genetic material, consisting of single-stranded RNA. The protein coat, composed of helically arranged capsomeres, encases and safeguards the viral genome within. This visually stunning representation highlights both the beauty and complexity inherent in biological structures at microscopic levels. Rabies is transmitted to humans primarily through infected animal bites, leading to severe symptoms after an incubation period ranging from 10 days to one year. Affected individuals may experience fever, breathing difficulties, muscle spasms, and hydrophobia. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork capturing a tiny yet formidable adversary responsible for such devastating disease outcomes, we are reminded of the critical importance of understanding these pathogens for healthcare professionals and researchers alike. Through continued exploration into microbiology and virology fields like this one depicted here by ANIMATED HEALTHCARE LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's exceptional work, we strive towards better prevention strategies and treatments against infectious diseases caused by viruses such as rabies.
